A 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
‐‐ Carl Jung
A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.

A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage.
‐‐ Bela Lugosi
A screenplay adaptation of my 'Punktown' novel 'Health Agent' has been making the rounds. The screenplay was written by my friend, singer/songwriter Walter Egan of 'Magnet & Steel' fame!

A screenplay is not a finished product; a novel is. A screenplay is a blueprint for something - for a building that will most likely never be built.
‐‐ Nicholas Meyer
A screenplay is really a blueprint for something that will be filmed. Therefore you must always keep in mind that whatever you write is going to be staged, for real.
‐‐ D. J. MacHale
A screenplay is really an instruction manual, and it can be interpreted in any number of ways. The casting, the choice of location, the costumes and make-up, the actors' reading of a line or emphasis of a word, the choice of lens and the pace of the cutting - these are all part of the translation.

A screenwriter heard me read from my novel 'The Wishbones' when it was still in progress and mentioned me to some producers in Hollywood. They called, and I told them I had a novel in my drawer about a high school election that goes haywire. They asked to take a look, and my life changed pretty dramatically as a result.

A script arrived, and on the front cover - scrawled really big, as if it were a book report - is 'Django Unchained, written by Quentin Tarantino.' And I thought, 'Well, no art department came up with this; this is Quentin's writing.'

A script is a unique literary form, because it's not the end product; it's a blueprint. If you're not thinking of that end product, there's going to be a disconnect.
‐‐ Evan Daugherty
A script is like a theory of a movie.
‐‐ John C. Reilly
A script is not a piece of literature it's a process.
‐‐ Abel Ferrara
A script is only as good as the director who's making it.
‐‐ Helen McCrory
A script is so word-heavy, after trying to communicate so much verbally, I think you need a different outlet to give the verbal centre of your brain a chance to cool off.
‐‐ David Alpay
A script is utterly useless in and of itself; it's only of any worth the minute your actors, your designers, your directors come into being.
‐‐ Peter Mullan
A script like 'Nightcrawler' gives me an opportunity to truly realize a vision that's mine, which is exciting.
‐‐ Dan Gilroy
A script narration is like watching a film, and I react to it like an audience with my own instinct. After that, I look for what is my character, what will I bring to the table in that role, how challenging will it be.
‐‐ Deepika Padukone
A scrupulous man will never produce a great novel.
‐‐ Julien Green
A scuffed up shoe on the red carpet or at a big premiere is never okay! It can really alter the vibe of a trendy look.
‐‐ Brad Goreski
A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
‐‐ Henry Moore
A sculpture is just a painting cut out and stood up somewhere.

A search is a search, even if it happens to disclose nothing but the bottom of a turntable.
‐‐ Antonin Scalia
A season is a season, regardless of the number of games.
‐‐ Joe Cronin
A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.
‐‐ Max Lucado

A second opinion never hurts, not only in medicine, but also in politics.
‐‐ Sergei Lavrov
A second reason why science cannot replace judgement is the behavior of financial markets.
‐‐ Martin Feldstein
A second type of direct evidence is formed by statements, whether as formal legends or personal information, regarding the age or relative sequence of events in tribal history made by the natives themselves.
‐‐ Edward Sapir
A secondhand wardrobe hand clothes doesn't make one an artist. Neither do a hair-trigger temper, melancholic nature, propensity for tears, hating your parents, or HIV. I hate to say it - none of these make one an artist. They can help, but just as being gay doesn't make one witty... the only thing that makes one an artist is making art.
‐‐ David Rakoff
A secret control slip is a wonderful invention. It sculpts and lifts the bum and smooths the hips.
‐‐ Marie Helvin
A secret is a secret in my mind.
‐‐ Daniel Craig
A secret is a weapon and a friend.
‐‐ James Stephens
A secret is not something unrevealed, but something told privately, in a whisper.
‐‐ Marcel Pagnol
A secret is powerful when it is empty.
‐‐ Umberto Eco
A secret talent or hobby... Hmm... I weirdly collect shot glasses.
‐‐ Austin Mahone
A security cam is one small part of a much larger universe of cams. The much larger effect, socially, politically and economically, is going to come from a much larger trend.
‐‐ Bruce Sterling
A seed, after all, is an embryo, a potential plant waiting for its moment to grow. It has what it needs to begin. But it can also put itself on pause. It can wait.

A segregated spiritual subculture does women no good, even if it does have adorable butterflies in the logo.
‐‐ Frederica Mathewes-Green
A self does not amount to much, but no self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations that is now more complex and mobile than ever before.
‐‐ Jean-Francois Lyotard
A self-evidently confident politician, Cameron still suffers from a curious hollowness. Ten years after he became Conservative leader, many people still question what he actually stands for or believes in.
‐‐ Douglas Alexander
A self-fulfilling prophecy is an assumption or prediction that, purely as a result of having been made, cause the expected or predicted event to occur and thus confirms its own 'accuracy.'
‐‐ Paul Watzlawick
A self-made man may prefer a self-made name.
‐‐ Learned Hand
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
‐‐ Simone Weil
A self-taught man usually has a poor teacher and a worse student.
‐‐ Henny Youngman
A selfish man is a thief.
‐‐ Jose Marti
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
